well I'll probably be running BS at certain Pro events in at least two different RX-8's; at least Atwater and DC, but maybe Bendover, Hackwood, or Peru. This is in addition to running STU in my car, which for Pro Solo will be at Mineral Hells and Denver. With missing the Walnut Ridge Pro I may need to do STU at Peru if the car appears to be competitive. Looks like I'm going to skip the Houston Tour now too and just develop the car locally first, so Mineral Hells will be the likely debut for STU.

and BTW, they are all ex-National Champions new names appear every year ... just like last year

I finally got my STU car put together on Saturday and ran a local event this Sunday for a shake down. The car felt pretty good and if the driver (me) would just get his head out of his 4ss, the car would have been right there with the STU STi regulars.

I'll be at Walnut this weekend for the Pro, the Houston Tour, and both events in Denver. Should be a fun season building for Topeka!

OK, three days have gone by and nobody has identified the mystery driver from the NW. Come on and spill the beans, who is it?

Or do they wish to remain anonymous, like some guy with a bag on his head?

So does this mean I'll finish 12th at Nationals instead of 11th?

I'm hoping BS is a bit more filled out this year. With the good drivers out there showing what it can do in 2005, maybe more of the local hotshoes will be more motivated to bring theirs out.

Don't worry sounds like he is going to stick with SS for this year. He might make a few events in the RX8 but Natls wont be one of them.

I ain't worried. I'm not competitive against the current BS drivers yet anyways, and not planning on Natls either. My plan is to wait until I have the skillz, then dominate you all at my first Nationals appearance.

Office Space rules. I used to think it was a comedy, but I sadly came to realize it's more like a documentary of the company I work at.

I was just wondering if it was a Seattle area guy. Someone I could learn from.

But I didn't want to "Jump" to "Conclusions".

I think Tom is in Oregon. I applaud your excellent Office Space tie in though.
